Eczema Rashes

Eczema rashes are generally a dry, rough feeling, scaly patch of thickened skin. The dryness of the rash reduces the protective quality of the skin, making it less effective at protecting against heat, cold, fluid loss, and bacterial infection.

Redness is common in eczema rashes. The redness can fluctuate, appearing bright red at some times of the day while at others it is barely noticeable. The redness is usually most obvious when you are hot, have just exercised, or after a hot bath.

ATOPIC ECZEMA

The most common form of eczema rash is atopic eczema. Dryness thickening, excoriation, and even scarring mark the rash associated with atopic eczema rash. The chronic condition of atopic eczema is not contagious. Atopic eczema is most commonly located in areas where the body bends or experiences contact thus creating friction that can cause eczema. This type of eczema affects 15 million people and is usually accompanied by asthma and hay fever. Trigger factors for atopic eczema may include soap, harsh chemicals, heat and humidity, stress, certain foods (most common offenders include eggs, milk, wheat, soy protein, and peanut). Many of these ingredients can turn up in unusual places, such as all-natural soaps, makeup, cream or lotions. Inhalant allergens such as house dust mites, pets, pollen and cut grass are also triggers that can cause eczema.

Atopic eczema may also affect the skin around the eyes, the eyelids, and the eyebrows and lashes. Scratching and rubbing the eye area can cause the skin to become red, irritated and inflamed. Scratching and rubbing the area can result in patchy areas involving loss of eyebrows and eyelashes. Signs and symptoms of eye complications also include eye watering and inflammation of the eyelid and the lining of the eyelid. These ocular symptoms of eczema can be very similar to ocular rosacea and can be treated as effectively as one would treat the symptoms of ocular rosacea.

Cause of Eczema

Eczema occurs as a result of an immune system response to an irritant either through contact, inhalation or ingestion. The body activates an immune system response often resulting in a flushed appearance, a rash, or welts on the skin. The symptoms of eczema include itching, redness, dry/flaky skin, and even blisters. Usually the first symptom of eczema is intense itching; this itching can be very uncomfortable and individuals may tend to scratch the skin. The itchy feeling is an important symptom in eczema, because scratching and rubbing in response to itching worsen the skin inflammation characteristic of eczema. Scratching makes the eczema symptoms worse. The dry skin will become redder in color and may even crack due to scratching. Scratching may also lead to infection. The urge to scratch symptom becomes a repetitive cycle: the more you scratch, the more it itches.

The Treatment of Eczema

When treating your eczema, you may not always be able to control the factors that trigger or aggravate your eczema, but you can control your approach toward tackling those triggers. A natural treatment to improve eczema skin can be found in basic lifestyle changes. The management of eczema is not simple. No one treatment works for everyone, since the areas involved and the degree of itching affects different people in different ways. At best we try to alleviate the intense itching, which, in essence, is the disease. Interrupt and stop this fierce symptom and we break the itch-scratch reflex, which is wholly responsible for the clinical manifestation - the rash.

Eczema Treatment Goals

The primary goals in the treatment of eczema are to control the itching and reduce the rashes and inflammation. The treatment of eczema is generally based on the sufferer’s age, the severity of their eczema condition, and the type of eczema they have. Eczema tends to flare-up when the person is exposed to certain trigger factors. These substances or conditions worsen the eczema, such as dry skin, irritants, allergens, emotional stress, heat and sweating, and infections. Keeping the skin well hydrated and avoiding over-bathing is important in the treatment of eczema.
